Ron was looking at her wide-eyed. Why wasn't she saying yes? "Uh. Missy?
Are you ok?"
She was still staring at him. "Uh, yeah, I'm ok."
Ron fidgeted. "Well? Will you? I-I really want to go to the dance with you. I'm really sorry about everything that's happened between us. I really want to take you to the dance."
She couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Well, I'm sure I was just your last resort." She said.
It was Ron's turn to stare. "What? You really believe that??"
Missy looked down at the ground. "I'm sorry."
Ron shook his head. "Please?"
Missy looked up into his eyes. How could she say no? "Well, ok. Yes, I will." She smiled.
Ron jumped up and down and grabbed her and swung her around. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!"
Missy grinned. She couldn't believe what was happening. She was finally happy. Now what was she going to do?
Harry stood up. "Well, we better get going. We should go see what's going on with Ron and Missy."
Lizzy nodded and stood up also. "Yeah, we should."
Elorra stood up too, and turned to leave and ran right into Patrick. "Oh, sorry."
Patrick smiled. "Its ok." He looked at her for a moment before walking on ahead.
They walked upstairs and into the common room, to see at the top of the stairs, Ron twirling Missy around shouting "thank you!" over and over again, and to see Missy laughing in glee. They raised their eyebrows and exchanged glances. Just what exactly was going on around here? As they watched Ron and Missy in the common room, Mandy and Oliver walked in. they saw Ron and Missy and Mandy started laughing. She was so happy. She knew that Missy would come through in the end. Ron sat Missy down on the floor, and started spinning around the room by himself, when all of a sudden he spun too fast and fell down, flat on his face. Missy ran over to him quickly and helped him back up while everyone else was laughing.
"Quit laughing!" Ron said, trying not to laugh himself. He couldn't see straight because he was still dizzy.
Missy stood next to him, and helped him to the couch and sat him down, she was laughing now too. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
Ron nodded and smiled. "Yes, especially now that you said yes." He grinned big.
Missy blushed. Missy still thought that something was going to go wrong. It always did. She never had good luck. "You're just saying that."
Ron shook his head. "No, I'm not."
Missy's face turned beat red. She couldn't think of anything to say.
Elorra sat down and day dreamed about Patrick. He was so cute! She secretly hoped that he would ask her to the ball.
Just then there was a tap on the window. Harry looked up and saw Sirius' shining face behind the window. "Sirius!"
He ran to open the window and he hugged his godfather tightly. Sirius hugged him back and then climbed in the window. He turned around to help a beautiful woman in with him. She was tall and thin, with shining red hair.
Sirius smiled as she stepped through the window. "Everyone, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Marissa. She is a seventh year at Durmstrang.
Marissa smiled and shook Harry's hand. "Nice to meet you."
Sirius smiled at her, and then he kissed her sweetly on the lips. The boys gagged, but the girls all smiled at each other.
Sirius turned to the girls. "Would you guys mind terribly if Marissa bunked with you guys tonight?"
The girls all shook their heads. Elorra stood up. And introduced herself. "Come on, I'll show you the room!" She led Marissa up the stairs.
Sirius looked at Harry. "Harry, can I talk to you, a minute?"
"Sure."
They walked into a corner and Sirius spoke in a hushed voice to Harry. "So how do you like her?"
Harry smiled. "Well I don't know her very much, but she seems nice enough."
Sirius smiled. "What would you say about her being your godmother?"
Harry's mouth dropped open.
Sirius nodded. "I am going to ask her to marry me Harry."
Mandy picked at the hem of her robes. "Oliver, are you sure that you want to go out with someone so much younger than you?"
Oliver sighed. He stood up and ran up to the dormitories. He ran back down with a letter in his hand. He showed it to Mandy. She read it and gasped. It was from Oliver's old girlfriend asking if they could get back together again. Mandy put a hand over her mouth. Oliver smiled and gently tugged the letter from her hands. He ripped it in a million little pieces, and dropped them into the fire. Then, in front of everyone, he bent down and kissed her.
Elorra didn't see them, since she was off in her own little world. 'He had a secretive look in his eye...' She thought to himself. 'Almost like he was hiding something.'
Lizzy looked at Mandy and Oliver and smiled. Then she looked at Harry, who grinned back at her. "They're so cute!" Lizzy said. They burst out laughing.
Missy looked at them and began to feel sick. Ron hadn't kissed her at all. 'Well what were you thinking Missy!' She told herself. 'He's only asking you to the ball! It's not like he asked you to be his girlfriend!'
Meanwhile Ron was thinking to himself, 'is this the right thing to do? Should we really be together?' He stood up. "I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight everyone." Missy's face fell. She didn't know what she was expecting, but she wasn't expecting him to just say goodnight 'everyone' as if nothing had just happened.
She sighed and dropped her head into her hands.
Hermione was sitting by the fire, staring into it, rather mournfully. She was in love. With Joshua Biggs. She hadn't realized it until now, but she did love him. He was so sweet and kind, and smart, and he had good morals...what wasn't there to like about him? The only problem was that he barely even noticed she was alive.
Mandy stared at Oliver. She couldn't believe what he had just done. She expected him to go back with his old girlfriend. They had history together, Mandy and Oliver didn't. What was so great about her? She looked down at her robes and smoothed them out. What did he want with a fifth year? She looked up and smiled at Oliver. Oliver grinned back.
Missy sighed and walked over to Mandy and sat down next to her. Mandy looked over at her and whispered. "Is something wrong?"
Missy shook her head and smiled. "No."
Mandy shook her head. She knew she was lying, but Oliver was staring at her with a big grin on his face. She laughed and hugged him. He kissed her again. Mandy pulled back and looked him in the eyes. "Why do you want to give up your old girlfriend for me? What's so special about me? I mean, I'm only a fifth year, I'm nobody."
Missy rolled her eyes. Mandy was so stupid sometimes. She stood up and walked up to her dorm, but not before stopping and trying to peek into the boy's room. She giggled as she saw Ron jumping on his bed, and Neville trying to get him to stop. She shook her head and went to her dorm. She quickly changed into her pajamas and lay down in her bed. She stared out the window and thought about Ron. Just like she had been doing for a while now. She couldn't seem to get him off of her mind. She thought about him till she fell asleep.
Elorra stood up and walked up to the dorm not too long after Missy fell asleep. She walked in, and saw Missy sleeping and changed quickly. She made her way to her own bed and lay down. She grinned when she thought of Patrick again. She really wished that he liked her back. It was bordering on the ridiculous how much she thought about him. She knew she should just be patient and try being his friends first.
Oliver looked at Mandy long and hard right in the eyes. "Mandy, listen to me. I like you because of who you are. I like you because you are kind, you love your friends, you're sweet, and you always want everyone to feel better. You're cute, and smart, and special. And if you don't like that, that's tough, because I love you." Mandy threw her arms around Oliver, with tears running down her cheeks. "I'm sorry Oliver! It's just no one has ever liked me the way you do, and I was surprised." She pulled back and looked ta him. " I feel the same way about you, you know." Oliver grinned mischievously. "I know." He leaned forward, and captured her lips with his. He kissed her forehead, and shooed her off to bed. "You wouldn't want to be tired tomorrow." He teased her. "Oh yes I would!" But he told her to get some rest that he would see her in the morning.
Mandy quietly let herself into the dormitories and sat down on her bed. She could see that Missy was only pretending to be asleep, right away. She walked over and sat down on her bed. "Missy?" But Missy insisted on keeping up her charade. Mandy sighed and went to sleep.
Marissa lay on her small cot in the corner, and listened to the other girl's long breathing. She knew that they were having problems. She was going to try to help as best as she could, but there wasn't much that she could do. She couldn't sleep though. God was telling her right now to go over there and help those girls with their problems. Missy first. She got up and sat on the foot of Missy's bed.
"Missy?"
Missy sat up. "Is something wrong?"
Marissa shook her head. "No not at all. At least not with me."
Missy frowned. "I don't know what you mean."
Marissa smiled. "Yes you do. I know all of your problems."
Missy's jaw dropped. "Are you an angel?"
Marissa couldn't help but laugh. "Not even close." She smiled.
Missy giggled. "I guess that sounded kind of silly."
CHAPTER FOURTEEN Uh oh! Will Missy follow her heart, or her stupid inner voice?????

Marissa put a hand on Missy's shoulder. "You're having problems with Ron." It was a statement, not a question.
Missy picked at a thread on her blanket. "Sort of, but not really."
Marissa nodded. "The problem is only with you."
Missy nodded. "Yes I'm just a selfish, stupid, sniveling, good-for-nothing. That's all."
"You're scaring him away." Marissa said gently.
Missy looked up at her. "I am?" Marissa nodded.
"Yes you are. Love him like you really know you do. Don't be so doubtful that he loves you back. Because, I know that he does. More than anything else. I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. He wants to be your boyfriend so much."
"Well then why doesn't he ask me to be his girlfriend?"
"It's like I said. You are scaring him away."
Missy sighed. Then she looked up. "I know exactly what I'm going to do about it too! Oh thank you Marissa!"
She hugged her. Marissa, surprised, hugged her back she shook her head, amused. She went back to bed; her duties for the night were done.
She was still staring at him. "Uh, yeah, I'm ok."
Ron fidgeted. "Well? Will you? I-I really want to go to the dance with you. I'm really sorry about everything that's happened between us. I really want to take you to the dance."

Missy's face turned beat red. She couldn't think of anything to say.
Elorra sat down and day dreamed about Patrick. He was so cute! She secretly hoped that he would ask her to the ball.
Just then there was a tap on the window. Harry looked up and saw Sirius' shining face behind the window. "Sirius!"
He ran to open the window and he hugged his godfather tightly. Sirius hugged him back and then climbed in the window. He turned around to help a beautiful woman in with him. She was tall and thin, with shining red hair.
Sirius smiled as she stepped through the window. "Everyone, I would like you to meet my girlfriend, Marissa. She is a seventh year at Durmstrang.
Marissa smiled and shook Harry's hand. "Nice to meet you."
Sirius smiled at her, and then he kissed her sweetly on the lips. The boys gagged, but the girls all smiled at each other.
Sirius turned to the girls. "Would you guys mind terribly if Marissa bunked with you guys tonight?"
The girls all shook their heads. Elorra stood up. And introduced herself. "Come on, I'll show you the room!" She led Marissa up the stairs.
Sirius looked at Harry. "Harry, can I talk to you, a minute?"
"Sure."
They walked into a corner and Sirius spoke in a hushed voice to Harry. "So how do you like her?"
Harry smiled. "Well I don't know her very much, but she seems nice enough."
Sirius smiled. "What would you say about her being your godmother?"
Harry's mouth dropped open.
Sirius nodded. "I am going to ask her to marry me Harry."
Mandy picked at the hem of her robes. "Oliver, are you sure that you want to go out with someone so much younger than you?"
Oliver sighed. He stood up and ran up to the dormitories. He ran back down with a letter in his hand. He showed it to Mandy. She read it and gasped. It was from Oliver's old girlfriend asking if they could get back together again. Mandy put a hand over her mouth. Oliver smiled and gently tugged the letter from her hands. He ripped it in a million little pieces, and dropped them into the fire. Then, in front of everyone, he bent down and kissed her.
Elorra didn't see them, since she was off in her own little world. 'He had a secretive look in his eye...' She thought to himself. 'Almost like he was hiding something.'
Lizzy looked at Mandy and Oliver and smiled. Then she looked at Harry, who grinned back at her. "They're so cute!" Lizzy said. They burst out laughing.
Missy looked at them and began to feel sick. Ron hadn't kissed her at all. 'Well what were you thinking Missy!' She told herself. 'He's only asking you to the ball! It's not like he asked you to be his girlfriend!'
Meanwhile Ron was thinking to himself, 'is this the right thing to do? Should we really be together?' He stood up. "I think I'm going to go to bed. Goodnight everyone." Missy's face fell. She didn't know what she was expecting, but she wasn't expecting him to just say goodnight 'everyone' as if nothing had just happened.
She sighed and dropped her head into her hands.
Hermione was sitting by the fire, staring into it, rather mournfully. She was in love. With Joshua Biggs. She hadn't realized it until now, but she did love him. He was so sweet and kind, and smart, and he had good morals...what wasn't there to like about him? The only problem was that he barely even noticed she was alive.
Mandy stared at Oliver. She couldn't believe what he had just done. She expected him to go back with his old girlfriend. They had history together, Mandy and Oliver didn't. What was so great about her? She looked down at her robes and smoothed them out. What did he want with a fifth year? She looked up and smiled at Oliver. Oliver grinned back.
Missy sighed and walked over to Mandy and sat down next to her. Mandy looked over at her and whispered. "Is something wrong?"
Missy shook her head and smiled. "No."
Mandy shook her head. She knew she was lying, but Oliver was staring at her with a big grin on his face. She laughed and hugged him. He kissed her again. Mandy pulled back and looked him in the eyes. "Why do you want to give up your old girlfriend for me? What's so special about me? I mean, I'm only a fifth year, I'm nobody."
Missy rolled her eyes. Mandy was so stupid sometimes. She stood up and walked up to her dorm, but not before stopping and trying to peek into the boy's room. She giggled as she saw Ron jumping on his bed, and Neville trying to get him to stop. She shook her head and went to her dorm. She quickly changed into her pajamas and lay down in her bed. She stared out the window and thought about Ron. Just like she had been doing for a while now. She couldn't seem to get him off of her mind. She thought about him till she fell asleep.
Elorra stood up and walked up to the dorm not too long after Missy fell asleep. She walked in, and saw Missy sleeping and changed quickly. She made her way to her own bed and lay down. She grinned when she thought of Patrick again. She really wished that he liked her back. It was bordering on the ridiculous how much she thought about him. She knew she should just be patient and try being his friends first.
Oliver looked at Mandy long and hard right in the eyes. "Mandy, listen to me. I like you because of who you are. I like you because you are kind, you love your friends, you're sweet, and you always want everyone to feel better. You're cute, and smart, and special. And if you don't like that, that's tough, because I love you." Mandy threw her arms around Oliver, with tears running down her cheeks. "I'm sorry Oliver! It's just no one has ever liked me the way you do, and I was surprised." She pulled back and looked ta him. " I feel the same way about you, you know." Oliver grinned mischievously. "I know." He leaned forward, and captured her lips with his. He kissed her forehead, and shooed her off to bed. "You wouldn't want to be tired tomorrow." He teased her. "Oh yes I would!" But he told her to get some rest that he would see her in the morning.
Mandy quietly let herself into the dormitories and sat down on her bed. She could see that Missy was only pretending to be asleep, right away. She walked over and sat down on her bed. "Missy?" But Missy insisted on keeping up her charade. Mandy sighed and went to sleep.
Marissa lay on her small cot in the corner, and listened to the other girl's long breathing. She knew that they were having problems. She was going to try to help as best as she could, but there wasn't much that she could do. She couldn't sleep though. God was telling her right now to go over there and help those girls with their problems. Missy first. She got up and sat on the foot of Missy's bed.
"Missy?"
Missy sat up. "Is something wrong?"
Marissa shook her head. "No not at all. At least not with me."
Missy frowned. "I don't know what you mean."
Marissa smiled. "Yes you do. I know all of your problems."
Missy's jaw dropped. "Are you an angel?"
Marissa couldn't help but laugh. "Not even close." She smiled.
Missy giggled. "I guess that sounded kind of silly."
Marissa put a hand on Missy's shoulder. "You're having problems with Ron." It was a statement, not a question.
Missy picked at a thread on her blanket. "Sort of, but not really."
Marissa nodded. "The problem is only with you."
Missy nodded. "Yes I'm just a selfish, stupid, sniveling, good-for-nothing. That's all."
"You're scaring him away." Marissa said gently.
Missy looked up at her. "I am?" Marissa nodded.
"Yes you are. Love him like you really know you do. Don't be so doubtful that he loves you back. Because, I know that he does. More than anything else. I can see it in his eyes when he looks at you. He wants to be your boyfriend so much."
"Well then why doesn't he ask me to be his girlfriend?"
"It's like I said. You are scaring him away."
Missy sighed. Then she looked up. "I know exactly what I'm going to do about it too! Oh thank you Marissa!"
She hugged her. Marissa, surprised, hugged her back she shook her head, amused. She went back to bed; her duties for the night were done.
